On July 4th, 2006, I embarked on a quest to become the pre-eminent American portrait painter of the 21st century. This blog chronicles that journey. With apologies to Joan Didion, I call it THE YEAR OF MAGICAL PAINTING.

The (As Yet Un...) Annotated Bear

This is the finished painting.

Enjoy it now because by about noon tomorrow people are going to be writing all kinds of stuff on it.

As is the usual case, I'll color code the annotators--red for Bear Stearns employees or shareholders, black for everybody else. There is some temptation to drag the thing over to JPMorgan for a day, but then I'd have to get another color pen. Likewise downtown, for a quick showing near the Stock Exchange.

Thursday morning, BS stockholders will gather to ratify/accept/vote for (whatever the correct term is) the JPMorgan offer. Remind me to bring extra pens that day.
